It’s been rumoured today on the BBC Sport website that both Liverpool and Southampton are looking at the possibility of bringing 21 year old midfield powerhouse Victor Wanyama to the Premiership from Celtic. There were also rumours in the January transfer window that Sir Alex Ferguson was looking at the Kenyan and you can be sure if he was available Manchester United wouldn’t be too far away from his signature.

It was reported in several news papers and confirmed on BBC Sport’s Twitter page today that half a million Dortmund fans have applied for just 24 thousand tickets for the Champions League final at Wembley in three weeks time. Jurgen Klopp’s team will face German rivals Bayern Munich in the Champions league final in London on the 25^th May.

There has been much speculation about the future of Spurs superstar Gareth Bale recently due to his fine form, but with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United apparently ready to battle it out for the Welshman’s signature, here are three reasons why a move to Old Trafford would be beneficial to all parties.

Yes, another transfer rumour regarding the champions *sigh*. Despite Manchester United winning the Premier League trophy with ease this season, Sir Alex Ferguson has promised the fans at least one big name signing when the summer transfer window opens. Whether this is an audacious move to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the club or perhaps try and tempt Gareth Bale north of the capital is yet to be seen. However, another name on Fergie’s list is Columbia U20 international Juan Fernando Quintero.

Lionel Messi has ensured he is recognised as the best football player on the planet right now, maybe even in the entire history of the sport, but that doesn’t stop people questioning his talents and whether or not he would, or indeed could, cut it in the Premier League. Now, I am not one of these people, but I have come up with a light-hearted list of three reasons why he needs to make an switch to the English topflight.

Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently revealed that he would be interested in ditching Real Madrid for the chance to play at Manchester United again.

Manchester United are in need of strengthening the middle of their squad, not even the most ardent Red Devils fans can argue with that.  Yes, they have dominated the Premier League this season and snatched the title back from noisy neighours Manchester City, but that was largely down to the vast number of goals that Robin van Persie provided.
